Ingredients
  

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (or your choice of basil, oregano)

4 large whole wheat or spinach tortillas

1 cup fresh mozzarella balls, halved (bocconcini)

2 large tomatoes, sliced

1 cup fresh basil leaves

1/4 cup balsamic glaze

Optional: 1 avocado, sliced

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, pepper, and dried Italian herbs. Let them marinate for about 15 minutes for enhanced flavor.

    Cook the Chicken: In a frying pan over medium heat, cook the chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until they are fully cooked and no longer pink in the center. Remove from heat and allow to rest for a few minutes before slicing.

      Slice the Chicken: After resting, slice the cooked chicken into thin strips.

        Assemble the Wraps: Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Start layering with sliced chicken, fresh mozzarella, tomato slices, basil leaves, and avocado (if using).

          Drizzle Balsamic Glaze: Carefully drizzle some balsamic glaze over the fillings to add a sweet and tangy flavor.

            Wrap It Up: Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly from the bottom to the top to enclose the filling.

              Slice and Serve: Cut the wrap in half diagonally and serve immediately, or wrap in foil for a perfect on-the-go meal.
